The Officers ofthe House.

AS the time for the meeting of Congress
approaches the interest in the offices which
the House has to dispose of increases. The
impression is that all of the officers of the
last House will be reelected except the Door
keeper Mr.. Donelson, who was Doorkeeper
during the last Congress is not an unpopular
man with the members of the House, but lie is
not as good a wire-puller as some of the
other candidates.
The man who seems to be in the lead is
Mr.. o. B. Hurt, of Mississippi Mr.. Hurt
is a young lawyer and newspaper proprie-
tor who held minor Office in the Senate wing
of the capitol four or five years ago. He
makes friends readily, and is fully capable
Of filling acceptably the position which he
seeks. He is supported by the delegation
from his own State and by good many of
the other Southern members. A strong ar
gument in his favor is, that about all the
other places in the gift of the House, except
the Speakership, will go to Northern men.

The mystery surrounding the Internal
machine which was sent to the Wechsler
mansion, Brooklyn, last Friday, and whose
explosion came near killing Mrs. Wechsler
and her child, still remains unsolyed. The
chances are that the sender Of it will never
be discovered. The detectives have made
several arrests, but do not appear to have
gotten hold of thecriminal 1t is not prob
able that themaohine was sent by a dis
charged workman or AN Anarchist. The
more probable theory is that il was sent by
crank. There appears to be good many
~anks about NOWADAYS.

There is no better Democrat in Virginia
than Hon. Randolph Tucker, and he is
good representative of Democratic senti-
ment in that State. In Washington, a dav
or two ago, he said that no party could
afford to vote for free whisky while there
was heavy tax on the bread and butter
and clothes of the people, and yet there is
here and there crank outside of the Re-
publican party who would like the Demo-
cratic party to do that very thing.

Complaint is being made that the accom-
modations for the cholera patients at Hoff-
man and Swinburne Islands, New York
harbor, are not sufficient. The suggestion
is made,an itseems to be a very proper one,
that if part of the extravagant income of
the Health Officer were used for improving
the accommodations he would still have far
more than he ought to, and there would be
no ground for the complaints that are now
heard

Gov. Hill, of New York, will lend help

between him and the President, and that he
is not trying to defeat the Presidents re-

Carlisle contested election case. Can it be
that he hopes that some way will be found
TO deprive Mr.. Carlisle of his seatl 1t can
hardly be probable that Mr.. Randall is that
kind of man. Even if Mr.. Thoebe had a
good case against Mr.. Carlisle, which he
hasn't, the way wouldn't be open for Mr..
Randall's election to the Speakership.

The New York Herald says that the
route proposed for the Nicaragua canal is a
comparatively simple affair That is what
NJ. de LeSseps said about the Panama route
before he began his canal there. Since he has
spent several hundred million dollars and
has accomplished very little, he does not re-
gard il SO simple an affair.

Mrs. James Brown Potter's first appear
ance on the New York stage is regarded as
a very decided success. The Fifth Avenue
Theatre was crowded on Monday night to
witness her performance. Very many of
those present were her personal friends, and,
of course, did what they could to make her
feel that she was meeting their expectations.
Mrs. Potter is about the best advertised
woman on the stage, and if she prove to be
a failure it will be her own fault. The
critics say that she has a great deal to learn
before she can fairly be considered to be a
good actress, and the probabilities are that
they are right. Beauty aud fine dresses
will not insure permanent success.

Some of the Philadelphia politicians pre-
tend to think that repeaters will defeat the
will of the people in that city next Tues
day. The will of the people is perhaps de-
feated in that city by fraud about as often
~ in any other city in the country. There
the Republican heller and Republican boss
flourish in all their glory.

The Congressional campaign in the Twen-
ty-fifth New York district is very hot one.
Charges by the score are made against the
Democratic and Republican candidates
Mr. Davis is the Democratic candidate, and
the last charge brought against him-it is
brought by an Anarchists that he eats his
dinner at o'clock p. IN. Think of it A man
who eats his dinner somewhere near sun
down wants to go to Congress! What
stronger reason could there be for defeating
him.

came out OF a ledge on top of the mountain near
Portland about 5000 feet above the level of the
sea The stone from which IL was obtained
came of in layers At the time Mr. Brooks
purchased it the tail of the fish could he seen
and that was all. He set to work removing the
rock that covered the remainder of the fish
He worked carefully and slowly for several
hours day for six weeks, and was rewarded NV

is probably thousands of years old The FISH
Is ABOUT ne inches long and inches through

own. Whatever may be the cause. the
fact exists that large inquiry in that di-
rection prevails in the community and that
large quantities of real estate out there
have changed hands.
II. S. Fairchild, who is in San Francisco,
is greatly delighted with it. He thinks the
business of that city is greater than that of
st. Paul and Minneapolis combined, and
greater than that of Cincinnati, while the
prices Of real estate there are nearly the
same as in Cincinnati and more reasonable
than in any Northwestern city except st.
Paul, and more than some here. Compare
lively speaking, the prices in Duluth and
Kansas City are higher. He says that be-
sides the 800, 600 population in San Fran.
cisco there are from so. 900 to $4,000 that
legitimately belong to it. to which should
be added large transient population, and
yet Kansas City with 125.600 people. At
Gibson, Topeka, st. 10. Leavenworth and
Omaha, near competitors, hold property
higher than it is held i'll San Francisco, and
even in Denver, with rs, 600 people, realty
is nearly as high as in st. Paul. He
thought well of Ell Paso and says: Il find
many inclined to look at it. Armour &
Bro, and company of capitalists were
looking ii over last week.

Jefferson Avenues 100
feet wide, is fully
graded and severed.
Toronto Avenue is also
100 feet wide, and was
graded last fall, as has
also Warsaw and st.

dition has lately been
subdivided, giving fifty
two fine lots, 40 and SO

foot alley. The ground
is as level as a floor,
and overlies a strata of
the very finest grade Of

face is dry and invalu-
able for building pur-
poses, while the location
is all that could be pos
sibly desired, being but
two blocks from the

system, and but three
blocks from where the

Emperor Nicholas and the MiSer.

One thing the Emperor held in
 particular aversion, viz: wealth, 1 coupled with avarice. He was once
 travelling with great dignitary,
 whom he had often bantered be-
 cause of his stinginess. At one of
 the stages the carriage had to un-
 dergo sundry repairs, and the gen. tlemen went forward on foot. They
 came to a spot where the road was flooded to a considerable depth.
 The Emperor called a road laborer
 and asked if he would undertake to
 carry him through the water. "Why
 not?" said the laborer, who took
 the monarch in his arms and con-
 veyed him safely across. The Em-
 perOr gave him a couple of gold pieces and whispered "Now go and get the other gentleman, but when you have got half way through the water stand still and ask him how much he intends to give you." The man did as he was told. stood still with his living load and inquired in the middle of the water how much he was to get for his labor. "You rascal" |" cried the miser, "the other gentleman paid for us both. I saw him, you impudent swindler! You shall not have another farth- ing !" "What is he going to stand" called out the Emperor. Nothing" "Then throw him into the water !" The laborer was about to do so, but his intended victim held on tightly, and exclaimed, "I will give you three rubles !" "Ask 300." inter- posed the Emperor, laughing. And now began a most comic scene. The terrified rider clung still more closely to his bearer, whom the Elm peror, by his gestures, encouraged to remain firm. The rage and ter TOT depicted in the features of the miser were indescribably ludicrOus, the Emperor meanwhile urging him to come on without delay. "Well, now," exclaimed the grand digni- tary at last, carry me across. I will pay you when we get there" Don't you trust him." called the nearly dying with laugh ter, 'make him pay at once !" And so 1t was. Our anxious traveller had, while hanging there over the water, to bring out his pocket-book and hand the countryman the 300 ru- bles.-Chronic der Zeit.

Their PenuriOuS GraceS.

The Duke and Duchess of Edin- burgh are so penurious that at times it makes them really ridicu- lous. A gentleman living in Sid- mouth, on the Devonshire coast, says that during a storm the yacht with these two members of royalty on board was in great danger, and that he had gone out with brave crew and rescued them from a wat cry grave. The only acknowledge ment made to the crew was a mere thank you" As the crew was composed of poor men, this ex- pression of ofappreciation wns scarce ly acceptable, especially as the Duchess of Edinburgh is one of the richest women in the world. It Is understood that the Duke refuses to lend his good-natured elder brother of Wales money, and that that jolly spendthrift is obliged to fall back. upon the amiability of MT. Tailor and MT. Bootmaker for favors of this description.-Chica- go Herald.

Colonel MCCaull'S RetOrt.

Colonel John A. McCaull, the well-known comic opera manager, was a soldier in the Confederate army, He has a single answer to every one who attempts to chaff him about the rebel flag. "Con- found your impudence." he says, "who made this country, anyway? Where would the developed great ness have been if we hadn't re- belled? Who gave you fellows mp North chance to get rich and rob each other? Who enabled Grant to leave the tanners store? Who gave Phil Sheridan a chance? Wouldn't Sherman still lave been out on the frontier mixing with the Indians but for us? Why, gentle men, we have made you. You can't crow over us."-Chicago Herald,
